    The card was crap... Charlo vs. Who? Guerrero who can't win against a decent opponent, topped off by Stevenson vs. What's his name. Main event was entertaining but no real competition in the build up.

      Only if Stevenson doesn't let HBO bid and if the unification ratings aren't as bad as each if Hopkins and strvensons last 2 fights

        SHO don't normally spend that kind of money. Haymon can collude with other fighters committed to HBO and make fake offers for the purpose of raising the fighter's purse.

          SHO is learning the same lesson HBO did a few years ago when it came to overpaying fighters

          Berto is a prime example. No one became a subscriber to HBO just to see Berto. Apparently the same is true with Floyd and all the other Al Haymon fighters cuz SHO are doing worse numbers this year than last year

                  -Stevenson "will make the highest purse of his career with Fonfara, by far…against Fonfara, he's going to make more than twice than what he made for his last fight," said Michel. "His highest paid fight [on HBO] was against [Tony] Bellew. He is going to generate more than twice of that…Adonis' purse will be twice as big as his purse was against Bellew."
